    Hi guys,

    I was just wondering what your experience is with developers living in Pakistan? How do Pakistani prices compare to India?

    I once used an Indian guy to do some coding on a phpbb forum unfortunately I lost his details.

    Are there any well known developers that people here have used? I reside in Spain however the recession has affected my income meaning I'm seeking a cheaper offshore alternative.

    In India there are a lot of teenagers who seek for work and are between the age of 14-16 so they do coding for cheap price as they are beginners while eurpoeans and american coders start at a hig price.In pakistan there are also many coders,i guess theyare cheaper as compared to indians.

    Yeah! reason of cheapness of Pakistan are because we dont have PayPal here secondly Indian grabs coding projects faster than Pakistanis :)

    To me coders of Pakistan are cheap than Indians

    both are cheap & many of both will work for other benefits such as owning a certain percentage of the website.

    Yes of course here in Pakistan we have many universities offering specialization in programming !
    As far as your question is concerned then I think due to lack of software market the price is very low here in Pakistan. But yes the industry is flourishing rapidly and the rates are getting higher.
